The Beatus manuscript of King Ferdinand I, from San Isidoro de León, is a 10th-century illuminated Gospel book from the kingdom of León in northwestern Spain. It is named after the monk Beatus of Liébana and includes scenes from the life of Christ, the Apocalypse, and other biblical stories. It is considered one of the finest examples of Mozarabic illumination, a style of medieval book decoration that was influenced by both Christian and Islamic art. The manuscript was owned by King Ferdinand I of León, who was a patron of the arts, and was kept in the royal monastery of San Isidoro de León.
